4 Configuring the Router

Before you configure this device, note that when the Broadband Router is configured

through an Ethernet connection, make sure the host PC must be set on the IP

subnetwork that can be accessed by the Broadband Router. For example, when the

default network address of the Broadband Router Ethernet interface is 192.168.10.x,

then the host PC should be set at 192.168.10.xxx (where xxx is a number between 2

and 254), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

1. Open an Internet Explorer (or other web browser), type “192.168.10.1” in the

address bar, and then press “Enter”.

2. Input “guest” for the User Name, and “guest” for the Password, and then

press OK.
